Your host is lying....read the fineprint of your contract.....the
guarantee means fuck all......it's all based on best effort

DynaMite

Some really good hosts credit you if the do'n't meet the SLA
what theydo is at the end of the year the calculate total down
time.....let's say the total is 1 day.....then they credit you
for 1 day according the monthly fee you pay....for example
$300 dollars per month....you will get credited $30

DynaMite

Who is your that host, (because your bikini site is hosted at rackshack?)

Andre

Our company specializes in developing HA systems and business continuity plans for business critical systems that rely on the Solaris platform. I often laugh at the numbers that hosting companies insert into their marketing fluff. Let's put things in perspective:


Availability Requirement Yearly Monthly
95% 438h 36h
99% 87.6h 7.2h
99.9% 8.76h 43m
99.99% 52.56m 4.3m
99.999% 5.256m 25.92m

As you can see 99% uptime leaves a large margin for error.

But still for most of the providers who are being used this margin
proofs not to be enough.......go figure

DynaMite :2 cents:

.. as a matter of the fact 99% uptime still means ~15min downtime every day ...

I just got a sales pitch similar to that the day before they went down. Salesman asked me where I was hosted and came back with "Didn't they just go down?" . I asked if Like Whoa ever went down. He said yes, but they keep their customers informed when they do.

Has anyone heard from Like Whoa concerning their downtime? I know the salesman has not been on ICQ during this entire incident.

hmmm seems like Likewhoa is again down ... so to me they are down 1/2 of the day still for 3 days...


not cool... they were better! Support dont answering my questions etc...

not down for me. is it your isp?

Yes likewhoa is down again. why? Alliquid is down. WHat is wrong?

sorry...its not my ISP... Likewhoa is down... yesterday it was the same and on Thursday it was the same... looks like they have some bigger troubles because if they have some simple troubles, they are able to repair it in minutes....but this looks bad... every day few hours down time... :mad:

we`ll see...


UPDATE : now it loading extremely slow with only part of graphics.. the same symptoms like past days....

Likewhoa is down, down, down

The page cannot be displayed

After some hours up, it's up & down again, like past days, same problem, 10 minutes loading fine, 10 loading slow, 30 down, and again and again.

Thanksgiving :eek7

"we had some issues with the network - our traffic shaper acted up for a few minutes "

apparently.

I wonder if they are aware of the problem or they are munching on a turkey

Did anyone phone them? I don't have the number, I'd like to know if they are working on it, or are just ignoring it eating a fucking turkey.

Anyone has a number?

THEY ARE ALL DEAD DRUNK !!

Likewhoa is down, down, down

it looks like their name servers are unreachable, as well. some errors you see may be "connection timed out" and others would be actual dns failures. hopefully most of you are seeing the former - the latter is more ugly for downtime (e-mail relies on DNS. luckily most mail servers accept it as a soft error, some don't tho.)

Down:( Why

You are joking right?

Even my patience is starting to wear thin...

I can't log into my mrtg stats. Says invalid login. Want to check out how really fucked it is.

If your top LikeWhoa trades are down, redirect the traffic to me ;)

Socalsweets.com

I'd call LikeWhoa but I feel bad -- it's Thanksgiving :(

This is really unfortunate.

Now I know where they got their name.


:(

I set some wheels in motion... So hold tight this may get taken care of soon...

i just moved to fucking dedicated hosted with them told i would be on verio and now this.

It has been up and down last couple of days so it is not an isolated incident.

I do not host there but I do have some galleries with sponsor links to "alliquid" and those sights appear to down quite a lot the last couple of days. The sites have a nice look and design but I'm underwhelmed with the the access speed, conversions, and now the reliability factor.

Too bad...

ronbotx:waaaaahh

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME THEIR PHONE NUMBER

Dead here no connection to likewhoa.com

It's busy for me: 1-646-230-1460

LW is the bomb. I just don't understand what's up with the downtimes?

Thought a lesson was learned last time. Have backup providers!:(

Maybe the number from the whois will work.

Yes that number did work, but only got an answering machine saying 'leave a message at the tone'.

its unfortunate for the paying customers who's sites are down.

well well well,

first off, I dont want to shit on like whoa, causes they have been good to me, pricing and tech support wise,

in fact the tech support has been the best I have ever gotten,

but,

I got downtime first in sept, for a day, and I got the promises, may of you are talking about,

well, I let that slide, and I was happy to receive a credit on my account for that day or 2 of slowness,

but,

the last 2 to 3 days have been getting progressivly worse,
the noc icq is now off line and the phone not getting answered,

and I have yet to hear from nick on this,

so im considering my options, and I guess we shall see,

Id really like a statement from like whoa on here,

and Id really like to know whats going on,

PS

in regard to this

posted by Henry and friends,

its nice to see my site as part of the discussion,

for the record, my site has always been fast with like whoa,

even since the switch from verio,

until now,


anyways, that it, sucks to be down,

5 years online, and Ive been down with,
ultraspeed.com
servint.com
maxim.net
flashhost.com

those are host to AVOID at all costs,

and well like whoa, so far so good, but this repeated dowtime is starting to get to me,

but like I said I dont want to bash them, only vent a bit,

later
